The electronics inside the full custom 12.1? touch panel PC control units are based on standard ESMexpress Computer-On-Modules on a customized carrier board. Depending on the performance requirements of the different farming vehicles, the COMs used are either Intel Atom or Intel Core based. All wireless interfaces like WLAN, GPS, GSM and UMTS are installed as PCI Express Mini cards mounted on the carrier board. Cameras that are installed outside of the vehicles are connected via Gigabit Ethernet if IP-based or via frame grabber if analog. An additional CAN bus interface is used to control machine functions like steering and controls the tools mounted on the machine.
